The Atlanta Hawks and point guard Trae Young are working to find a trade destination for the four-time National Basketball Association (NBA) All-Star, according to multiple media reports.

Wizards a 'potential destination' for Young

The Hawks and Young have remained in contact about his future with the organisation since Atlanta elected not to offer him a contract extension last off-season when he became eligible, according to ESPN.

ESPN also reported those talks have escalated over the last week. Marc Stein of The Stein Line reported on Jan 5 that the Washington Wizards had emerged as a “legitimate potential trade destination” for Young.

Young, 27, has spent his entire career in Atlanta since the Hawks acquired him in a draft-and-trade deal with the Dallas Mavericks in the 2018 NBA Draft as the fifth overall pick. He is the franchise's all-time leader in assists (4,837) and three-pointers made (1,295).
